obama is out there saying i'm cutting the deficit. we need to get angry because the american people are angry and obama is lying to you. we need to make that very, very clear. that's right! \[applause] >> the white house belongs to the conservative and anger is not what it takes. it takes an understanding of who obama is and what he is up to. what he is up to he does very well. hen wants to take this -- he wants to take this country to a state of socialism, which has not been achieved but it came close during the nixon administration. obama is doing what he thinks is good for america. all of us know that every time that has been tried the opposite has happened. people become poorer. except for the few elite at the top who run the political system. obama is doing a good job of trying to achieve socialism in america. the task of conservatives is to do a better job of explaining why socialism doesn't work and why free markets do work. without using the cord compassion but explaining why compassion is capitalism. >> it has to be done on a

it kills jobs, stifles growth and adds to the deficit. all while making life harder for seniors, women, children and the most vulnerable in our society. the math of the budget just does not add up. simple arithmetic tells you that the only way to pay for mr. ryan's proposed tax cuts for the fortunate few is to eliminate many of the deductions that middle class families count on to pay for housing and health care and to save for their retirement. the ryan tax plan would further burden those who are struggling by substantially lowering taxes for the most fortunate and that's not spend, that's just plain math -- spin, that's just plain math. the vision this budget offers of america is tuth totally at odds -- is totally at odds with who we claim to be. it's a vision of the country where the government is indifferent to the suffering of many while only paying attention to the demands of a few. then there is the other plan that is before us, the democratic plan. with a balanced set of priorities, a better vision for the future, found in the bud

the budget presented by the deficit majority makes no effort to reduce deficits, reduce spending, balance the budget or grow the economy. instead, this budget seeks to grow government by taxing more and spending more. it's time that we all recognize that government exists to serve the needs of the people rather than people serving the needs of their government. there are some who believe that government is the only creator of economic prosperity, and if others have achieved success, they must be by default the cause of others' hardships. this type of glass warfare, demagoguery as it is, is harmful to america and our future. it seeks and does divide america. the budget presented by the deficit majority is partisan business as usual. it will tax success by adding another trillion dollars. it increases government spending, it ignores the subject of our health care entitlements, and this whole approach is simply not good for advancing america's economy. it places no priority on ever bringing our budget into balance the deficit majority speaks at length about growing the economy and creating a
